There is no API function that does the entire prop sync operation.  The closest thing is IExplorerUtil.UpdateFileProperties in Autodesk.Connectivity.Explorer.ExtensibilityTools.dll.

When you set properties with UpdateFileProperties it syncronizes the changes for you.   The downside is that ExtensibilityTools doesn't work very well inside an event handler.  If you are responding to events from multiple clients (Vault Explorer, Inventor, AutoCAD, etc), you will probably find that it won't work in some of those clients.
